How to Maximize Serrated Outer Grooves with the Right Yokohama Tires for Your Ford Escape
The Ford Escape is built for balance—agile, efficient, and dependable in changing conditions. But when winter arrives, traction becomes a top priority. One of the smartest ways to improve your vehicle’s winter grip without giving up everyday performance is by upgrading to tires with serrated outer grooves—a standout feature of the Yokohama GEOLANDAR CV® G058.
Paired with the Escape’s recommended 225/65R17 size, this technology delivers strong winter traction while maintaining smooth, confident wet-weather handling.
What Are Serrated Outer Grooves?
Serrated outer grooves are angled saw-tooth-like cuts along the edges of a tire’s tread. Their purpose? To dig into snowy or icy surfaces while maintaining the channeling efficiency needed to evacuate water.
Here’s what they offer:
- More biting edges for improved grip in winter conditions
- Enhanced snow-on-snow traction for better braking and acceleration
- Efficient water evacuation to reduce hydroplaning risk
- Balanced handling for dry, wet, and snowy roads alike
Why It Matters for Ford Escape Drivers
Your Ford Escape is designed to handle all seasons, but the right tire makes a real difference when temperatures drop. Serrated outer grooves give you that extra layer of winter readiness without the need to swap to a dedicated snow tire.

- Reliable winter performance with all-season versatility
